Everything was great. A lot of participants. We liked both the reports (specific questions on the monetization) and especially the panel discussions. Everything was in the point, we have taken away a lot of useful tips. And Moscow has left an excellent impression.

Dmitry Kirilov

CEO, INDEE Interactive

We’d like to thank you for inviting us to this event. For the first time, AR developers could meet in one place and discuss the current market state and future prospects. And of course, in was interesting to find out about new objects recognition systems, unstable markers problem solutions, and lots of more.
At VRARlab, we’re working not only with AR but also with VR. And it’s great that other representatives were also present here.
We’re trying uniting the world of AR with virtual reality. This is not a science fiction, this happens now. Imagine that in a year or two, you could use virtual content to learn language perfectly in just 3 months, or walk around the ocean’s bottom, looking at Titanic or catching virtual fish, feeling its every plate with a help of special gloves.
The future is created here.
And it depends only on us.

2) "Yandex.Taxi" after the introduction of virtual entertainment in 50 cars, got 2% increased in the weekly "recurrence" of clients and the average check of 88 rubles.
3) Microsoft is preparing a breakthrough in the field of augmented reality by releasing Hololens and software for them this year.
4)Teslasuit from Belarusian developers will give the opportunity to experience the full range of virtual experiences on itself - from the blast of wind to a bullet hit.
5) The guys from Moscow Great Gonzo Studio made a virtual immersion into painting. I was able to immerse into the movie "Scream" and "Black Square".
Friends will tell you ... the evolution both in marketing and film, as well as in science is comming soon!
